Article seen today online Daily Mail (yes I know, sensationalist claptrap, but..)
Isn't it typical how they always find ways of not being helpful.
Doesn't mention opening windscreens either..

As you say... "clap trap", as in the title of the article which is "click bait"

What a load of rubbish written to target those who spend their life tittle tallying....
Can you really imagine the headlines and social media media backlash if an insurance company attempted to pull this stunt!

The serious message is; that you must be in a fit state to drive, but that will get lost in this melodramatic headline! Agree;The Daily Mail is not very helpful.

Same thing a day later, if it's anything like the print edition. Though the Express isn't quite as "Daily Mail" as the Mail is.
